Program Review 2007:
Program Review 2009-2010:


  • Students should acquire a set of defined skills in landscaping and gardening that allows them to quality for jobs in the industry.
  • Students should acquire a basic set of knowledge in horticulture that allows them to continue building their competencies in this field or start a new career path.
  • Students should develop an understanding of their positive role in participating through their careers and life in well being of society.


--- Discipline Problem Solving and Critical Thinking SLO (from 2005) Where does this SLO fit in with the general ones?
In the Environmental Landscaping Department we design our classes and curriculum to train our students to solve problems as professionals in Environmental Landscaping do in light of current developments in technology and society. We teach our students how to creatively address situations in gardens and landscapes, identify, select and describe factors that contribute to their design, installation and maintenance following sustainable guidelines.
